ABSTRACT
Since 2000, the National Science Foundation's NSDL program has made many direct contributions to digital library research and STEM education. Originally called the National STEM Digital Library (and now National STEM Distributed Learning), the program catalyzed significant technology developments and served to advance state-of-the-art teaching and learning practices during a period of dramatic technological change. This poster describes the results of a three-day writing workshop, convened in April 2012, which generated a retrospective report and a series of interviews on the NSDL building process.

Recommendations
Digital library education: the current status
JCDL '06: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesIn this paper, we review and examine the current status of digital library education and compare the range of provision with that found in earlier studies [1, 2, 3]. It is found that the number of institutions offering programmes or courses in digital ...
STEM teaching as an additional profession for scientists and engineers: the case of computer science education
SIGCSE '14: Proceedings of the 45th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationThe conference theme - "Leveraging Computing to Change Education" - focuses on the influence of computing on the way we educate at all levels. In this paper we highlight the conference theme from the perspective of computer science (CS) teacher ...
Digital library education in computer science programs
JCDL '07: Proceedings of the 7th ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital librariesIn an effort to identify the "state of the art" in digital library education in computer science (CS) programs, we analyzed CS courses on digital libraries and digital library-related topics. Fifteen courses that mention digital libraries in the title ...
